[Red Badger]

#25 seems a bit out of focus........................

[left that other site]

Good Morning!
:-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Seems clear to me: one BIG PERSON with lots of little ones.

[Red Badger]

I didn’t know Van Gogh did religious paintings!................

[Hebrews 11:6]

‘Tis, indeed! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Neither did I. Seems to me he might be a good artist's model for Malchus.

[Red Badger]

Yes, but he, Malchus, got his ear back!...............

[Hebrews 11:6]

By the way, we'll have another Van Gogh in about three weeks: he did an excellent The Good Samaritan image.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Van Gogh would model the “before.”

[Red Badger]

Did they ever figure out why he cut his ear off?...........

[Hebrews 11:6]

Wikipedia:
"Van Gogh suffered from psychotic episodes and delusions and though he worried about his mental stability, he often neglected his physical health, did not eat properly and drank heavily. His friendship with Gauguin ended after a confrontation with a razor when, in a rage, he severed part of his own left ear."

[Red Badger]

So, he was what is known in psychology circles as a ‘cutter’..................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Not for long: he soon shot himself.

[etabeta]

Like #1, captivating scene, crowd in rapt attention.

I love Karoly Ferenczy’s painting (#32), a different interpretation. The scene has a calm and pastoral quality, Jesus is not trapped in past history but is an ongoing presence in the contemporary world.

Great paintings you assembled for today lesson.

[Hebrews 11:6]

an ongoing presence in the contemporary world

He is, of course, "the same yesterday and today and forever." Those who find OT God to be different that the NT version miss that it's the world that differs.

I've found that Fine Art America is by far the most prolific source for contemporary biblical art.

[spankalib]

Which one is Van Gogh?

IIRC, he painted Jacob rasslin with an angel awhile back...

I kinda don't get the last one...the rhino & cardinal...

[Hebrews 11:6]

Since Red mentioned Van Gogh, I'll leave your first query to him.

Have you seen photos of the birds--oxpeckers--perched atop rhinos?

And just how profoundly stooooopid does the grey (colorless) rhino in that painting appear? I mean, his Mass&Strength-to-IQ ratio must approach infinity! So, this brilliantly-colored, tiny lone cardinal is on the Mount....

Gotta say, I thought it was genius. Makes me laugh aloud.

[etabeta]

Bullas is a humorist, spankalib. As for Jacob wrestling with the angel, the one Dan posted a while back was by Gauguin.
